Audience Score On RT Is 94% But The Only Professional Critic Review Is Negative


According to RT, this film has a 94% 'Fresh' RT score, however, the ONE and only professional critic who has reviewed it so far (a BLACK WOMAN!) has given it a negative review...

Hmm...who am going to trust? An INTELLIGENT BLACK WOMAN, or a bunch of anonymous J-Law SIMPS who are CLEARLY bombing RT with unmerited positive scores for a TRASHY sex comedy? Difficult one... 🤔

Here are a few quotes from Carla Hay (the INTELLIGENT BLACK WOMAN PROFESSIONAL FILM CRITIC):

“No Hard Feelings” is a cringeworthy sex comedy in all the wrong ways...

...Jennifer Lawrence’s full-frontal nude scene reeks of desperation...

...there’s something kind of pathetic about how hard she’s trying to be “edgy,” when this outdated movie is as edgy as a used condom from 1984...

...Directed by Gene Stupnitsky (who co-wrote the “No Hard Feelings” screenplay with John Phillips), “No Hard Feelings” has a very “male gaze” to it because it’s a sex comedy where the only full-frontal nudity is from the female gender. Even though there are men in sex scenes too, these men are never shown fully naked in the movie. (Lawrence’s full-frontal nude scene isn’t a sex scene, but it’s a scene that’s meant to be provocative.) It all looks like wish-fulfillment fantasies from sexist filmmakers who want to see women fully naked in their movies but not men fully naked in the same movies..."

I 100% approve of this review, as it clearly highlights how these sex comedies are often so misogynist, although it's a shame that the critic doesn't also highlight how offensive the film appears to be to *both* women and men, and that scrawny virginal geeks who are being forced to have sex by their parents, are human-beings too, and don't deserve to be mocked anymore than sex-workers.

As an aside, remember all the hoopla when J-Law's account was hacked and nude photos were released? I think it was a despicable act of MISOGYNY, and yet, at the risk of being accused of 'sexism' myself, I find it ironic that J-Law is now so willing to go nude for *this*!

I've already seen on another site that the ahem... simp brigade are head over heels with this flick because J-Law acts slutty in it and takes her kit off.

I reckon all the people giving it superb reviews are doing so with one hand busy.

LOL!

Indeed.

Do these simps realise how pathetic they are? They're contributing to a misogynist patriarchal narrative that sexually and physically demeans women, and emotionally and intellectually demeans men (and, one might argue that emotional and intellectual degredation is even worse, although in this case, the men/boys are doing it to themselves...)

If I gave a rat's festered ass what professional critics think, I guess that would matter to me.

"intelligent feminist" is an oxymoron. Does the black women weigh over 200 pounds?
Only negative MC reviews are from Marxists. Several positive reviews by WOMEN!
